Jurgen Klopp praised for inspirational ‘show some f***ing balls’ team-talk before stunning Liverpool comeback vs Barcelona
JURGEN KLOPP told his Liverpool players to “show some f***ing balls” before their incredible 4-0 win over Barcelona.
Dejan Lovren has praised the German boss for his wise words before the Reds incredibly overturned a 3-0 deficit from the first-leg.
Liverpool achieved the unthinkable after Divock Origi scored either side of Georgino Wijnaldum’s quickfire double.
After the Reds secured their spot in the final of the Champions League, Lovren revealed how Klopp fired them up before kick-off.
The Croatian centre-half told the club’s official website: “Congratulations to Klopp. Before the game he did an amazing speech.
“It was something brilliant and I think he lifted us so high. It was just ‘Believe! Put it in your mind that we can do it’.
“It was something that we’ve never heard before.
“”He said: ‘Boys, believe. One or two goals, even if we don’t score in the first 15, 20 minutes, believe in the 65th, 66th, 67th minute that we can score, and then with Anfield behind us, trust me guys, we can do it.’
“‘We did it once against Dortmund, we can do it tonight. Just show f***ing balls tonight.’ And we did it.”
‘OVERWHELMING’
Klopp branded his Liverpool players as “f****** giants” for their incredible performance against the La Liga champions.
The manager said: “The whole game was actually too much. Overwhelming.
